My dog had his anal glands expressed 3 days ago and still scooting/licking excessively. The area looks red and irritated. I feel bad for the poor guy!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely due to an infection of the anal sac or possibly allergies for example. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!
